Introduction: On the road of China's backwardness to prosperity, there are countless heroes and sons and daughters who have sacrificed their lives, who are not afraid of death, who are not afraid of sacrifice, who heroically kill the enemy, and who do not hesitate to stain the battlefield with blood. The happy life we have today was bought by those revolutionary martyrs with their youth and lives. In the ranks of those heroes, we can also see the figure of women, who, like men, wear battle robes and go to the front line to show the style of Chinese women.
The heroine we want to talk about today is Zhang Qinqiu, she is the only female general in the history of the Chinese Red Army, in addition, she has also served as the director of the political department of the Red Army, the minister of women's independence and other important positions, it can be said that her performance is not inferior to men at all.
Like other revolutionary women fighters, she went to school, learned Chinese characters, and came into contact with progressive Western ideas, all of which completely changed her worldview and political outlook.
She is a woman who pursues freedom and equality, studied at Hangzhou Women's Normal College, and has a certain knowledge base. In 1924, he was introduced to the Communist Party of China and became a member of the Communist Party. She also studied at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, where she studied the languages of the five countries, was able to write and fight, and had a general's style. Xu Shiyou and Chen Geng had served under her.
Unfortunately, after the defeat of the Western Route Army, Zhang Qinqiu was unfortunately captured. She was once regarded by Ma Bufang as an important fugitive, but she still escaped the palm of his hand with her wisdom and ability, so how did Zhang Qinqiu do it? In the great northwest where the cold wind was raging, a gust of wind blew as if it were going to devour people. One night in 1937, the sound of gunfire was wrapped in the cold wind, and it was the Ma family army that was pursuing them, and the situation was very bad.
At that time, Minister Zhang Qinqiu was preparing to transfer, when suddenly there was a sharp pain in her abdomen, and she was about to give birth. The soldier had to set up a makeshift tent with his own hands, and the medic only held a flashlight to deliver her.
Zhang Qinqiu used her last bit of strength to give birth to her child. But the child was born without breath, and after hastily burying the child's body, she was put on the back of the horse and withdrew all the way, and the enemy was getting closer and closer.
Later, after Zhang Qinqiu successfully broke through, the second husband comforted him that he did not fulfill the responsibility of a husband, and Zhang Qinqiu did not blame her, but said that he should focus on the overall situation and have children in the future.
But then she fell ill with an incurable gynecological disease and could never have children. Knowing this situation, Zhang Qinqiu could not accept it for a while. Later, whenever she heard about the child found in the Hexi corridor, she would be nervous for a while.
Soon after, the Western Route Army was again pursued by the enemy, and in March, Xu Xiangqian held a wartime conference and decided to disperse and move immediately, and for this reason, Chen Changhao and Zhang Qinqiu were separated because of the war. In the process of transfer, Zhang Qinqiu's unit was attacked by the enemy again, and the troops were scattered. Because of the lack of materials and ammunition, Zhang Qinqiu, who was weak after childbirth, has given up the idea of continuing to retreat.
She had no strength left, but she could not be a prisoner, so she took the pistol and aimed it at her forehead, but just as the enemy slowly approached, there was no bullet in the pistol. Two days later, Zhang Qinqiu was captured. Ma Bufang strictly interrogated every female soldier who was captured, not even the size of her feet. Because Zhang Qinqiu was wearing tattered clothes, at first glance she thought she was an old lady from the countryside.
When the enemy interrogated her, she replied in very authentic Sichuanese that I was just a man in the Red Army. She was then held in a prisoner-of-war camp by the enemy. Imprisoned inside were female soldiers of the Red Army, huddled together to keep warm and cheer each other on. In the spring of 1937, she was taken to a wool factory in Xining to sort wool.
After that, Ma Bufang gathered a group of younger female prisoners and formed a so-called troupe to perform performances. Although Cai Yuanzhen and Huang Guangxiu became Ma Bufang's concubines, they never forgot their mission and beliefs, and they used the excuse of being an old mother for a new couple to change Zhang Qinqiu and try to protect her.
Summary: Kuomintang officers Lu Cheng and Li Xiaozhong promised to keep this secret for Zhang Qinqiu as long as she announced her separation from the Communist Party, and Zhang Qinqiu had to agree to their request to save herself.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the two men were ordered to lushan to attend a meeting, Ma Bufang personally sent the two people off, zhang Qinqiu was hidden in a trap with the two men's troops escaped from Ma Bufang's clutches. What he never expected was that the female minister he had painstakingly tried to arrest had escaped under his own eyes.
